Long term funding.

A covenant in a loan agreement which becomes effective on the occurrence of a certain event in the future. Used to enable loan agreements to have fewer and less onerous ('lite') covenants, typically to conform to other loans of the same borrower.

A common springing event is the level of utilisation of a loan facility at which time covenants such as ICR (interest cover ratio) and gearing come into effect.
